I agree. There were 10 dirt races in all. In three of them, the winner led at every call. Their odds were 12-1, 7-1, and 6-1. Three more winners were second at the first call. One of the winners was third at the first call. Speed won early and speed won in the final race of the day.

To believe that speed was a negative on Saturday is to prove oneself quite capable of believing absolutely anything.
